Listen to the BP pod cast show number 77 and there is some good info on approaching sellers. 

I recently learned that income earned through Airbnb often doesn’t qualify as eligible income when applying for a second mortgage.For those of you who’ve used Airbnb as part of your house hacking approach, how did you navigate this issue?

The biggest issue is most of these "gurus" that get new wholesalers involved teach them to be deceptive when they approach realtors. 

Motivated sellers are found by culling smaller lists and building relationships with the people you call with a more fine-tuned approach.

However, I'm now reading Dave Meyer's book Start With Strategy to learn more about whether long-term residential rentals is even the best approach or if I should be looking into other strategies, in light of my overall goal.After Start With Strategy I plan to read Set For Life by Scott Trench, but what other recommendations do you guys have at the strategic level?

From utilizing 1031 exchanges to offsetting gains with losses, the right approach can make all the difference in your investment journey.

They don’t effectively target motivated sellers.In fact, the market is saturated with these outdated and inefficient approaches.

I inquired about the possibility of a two-company structure: A traditional LLC that is the public face of the activities (collecting rents, paying contractors, etc.) and managing the Series LLC with each property in once cell in it (in this case, Series LLC is serving as a holding role).Again, one attorney said that would be much better than a standalone LLC and that is recommended approach, and the other said it is waste of time and money since there are some requirements from Texas Real Estate Commission, which is requiring being a licensed broker in the state to operate in the managing LLC.So, just want to hear what other Texas investors are doing when it comes to series LLCs regarding these issues. 

I was approached by a wholesale partner and flipper partners (whom I’ve done private lending for) of mine about me purchasing 1.5 acres to develop 12-16 single family homes on.I would be responsible for purchasing land and getting it prepped to build. 

I’m curious about the pros and cons you’ve found with each approach, especially here in Colorado.
